Description
The Sentry Engineering team builds hardware products and systems that leverage artificial intelligence to provide highly accurate, persistent autonomous awareness across land, sea and air. The Maneuver Subdivision focuses on rapidly deployable platforms that must endure extreme environments. For example, Anduril’s Mobile Sentry, a ruggedized, mobile platform that uses artificial intelligence for highly accurate, persistent autonomous ground or air awareness through use of various sensors. This role will own rapidly developed, ruggedized product introduction in addition to scaling legacy design concepts to support full-rate production. The ideal candidate will possess a rapid prototyping, growth mindset while ensuring concepts can scale rapidly to production-ready designs capable of deployment throughout the world.
As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will own ruggedized hardware design from concept generation to production realization under condensed timelines. You will use first principles physics as a basis for every decision. You will lead design reviews, run analysis, and define and execute hardware test plans to ensure product reliability in many of the harshest environments on earth. You will build prototypes of complex electromechanical systems. You will coordinate across Anduril internal departments to build prototypes, analyze failures, and transition successful design concepts into production. You will support critical hardware demonstrations with internal and external customers as needed. You will travel to test sites and vendors as needed.
Required qualifications include experience in immersive technical projects (Formula SAE, Baja SAE, SAE Aero etc), self-starter with 6+ years of mechanical/electromechanical design experience in a professional setting, 3D CAD proficiency (any platform) and ability to understand and apply GD&T to create high quality engineering drawings, demonstrated hands-on fabrication skills, BS in Mechanical Engineering or a related field, and eligibility to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance. Preferred qualifications include experience in NX/Teamcenter, M.Eng, MS or PhD in Mechanical Engineering or a related field, experience developing ruggedized electromechanical assemblies from concept to low-rate production for automotive, space, or military applications, ability to integrate electronic components into mechanical designs (motors, controllers, sensors, radars etc.), and experience with production processes, including machining, sheet metal, injection molding, welding, wire harnessing and 3D printing to inform design for manufacturability.
